: We clip the following from the Prccre

We clip the following from the Prcsres-
sive Former of this week:
Mr.. J. w. Harrell, of this city, the
inventor of the automatic car coupler, has
also invented tether for pasturing horses
and cattle. 1t is SO constructed that the ami
NAL has a range of some twenty-five or thirty
feet in diameter, the rope by which it is tied
being attached to an arm, supported by post,
and governed by pulley and weight, which
takes up the slack of the rope. With this
device there is no danger of the animal be-
coming tangled in the rope. He will apply
for a patent.
Our Greensboro letter this week contains
description of a similar contrivance pat
ented by Mr.. w. B. Farrar of that city,
which, judging from the poinss given, we
would take to be technically the same thing.
Mr.. Farrar has had his machine patented a
year more.
= We call attention to the advertisement
of the Carolina Baking Powder in another
column. The manufacture of it is North
Carolina enterprise that should have our
home patronage. The manufacturer claims
for it great strength and purity, and it is
offered at wholesale prices lower than other
powders, of corresponding quality, but is
not a cheap as some brands containing alum,
deci 1edly cheapening ingredient and one
strongly condemned by high medical auth
critics. Ask your grocer for the Carolina
Baking Powder.
Owing to lack of space, we will be
obliged to omit the closing proceedings of
court this week. Some important suits
were dispatched during the last of the week,
and the grand jury made their report, offer
ing some excellent suggestions with regard
to fencing the Jail, enlarging and improving
accommodations for the county poor.
Those of our country friends who are
still due THE SENTINEL are requested to
call in and settle when they bring their
tobacco to town next week. Those who
| can't come in person are requested to send
| their subscription by some one from their
! neighborhood who intends coming.

date of said subscription, and that they shall
running over the specified 40 miles within
4 years from the date of said subscription.
On failure to begin the work within one
year or to complete it within four years, as
provided, the said bonds shall be returned
to the BOARD of Commissioners of Forsyth
county, and by them destroyed.
Mr.. Buxton made motion which was
carried that the time to begin work be
changed from one year to six months.
Mr. Jno. Fries spoke on the resolutions
and said the proposition made by the r. &
D. r. r. was safe one and that the money
was to be paid when the work was done
Mr. w. B. Glenn said the resolutions were
sufficiently guarded to protect the best inter-
ests of the town and that the investment
would pay by the enhanced valuation of
property.
Judge Wilson said that we were obliged
touched upon the efforts of the G. F. & Y. ".
to go around us. Winston could not afford
to sit in idleness and see her interests thus
jeopardized.
Will our mill be worth any thing if the
waters are averted and made to go around?
Mr.. Buxton said: "Every line of business
of our town is represented here tonight,
which proves the general interest in the
question at stake-the increase of property
will reduce the rate of tax"
Mr.. r. B. Glenn said: "To adopt this
proposition means Winstons welfare-to
reject it means Winstou's dsom.'-
Mr.. Fries again arose and read a telegram
from Col Andrews, saying it was intended to
build both the road to Mocksyille and to
Wilkesboro at the same time.
A vote on the resolutions then being
taken resulted in unanimous adoption.
On motion the chair was instructed to APP
point committee of five citizens to confer
with similar committee from the Cham
Der of Commerce.
The meeting then adjourned bearing
away the satisfaction that sentiment
| which has hitherto brooded in the COM
manity as topic of conjecture and spscula-
ton has assumed expression and a prospect
of reality.

WASHING TONS BIRTH DAY.
A Notch in the Calendar of Americ can
History.

a Notch in the Calendar of Ameri can
History.
Tuesday marked the hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the birth day of Americas
ideal hero. In Winston a general holiday
was taken, and everybody seemed to have a
full sense of appreciation of the occasion,
especially the small boy Of tin horn pro-
clivities.
An attractive list of amusements was on
the program tor the night, and the whole
town presented general scene of festivity
and merry-making. As announced. the
Band gave the two towns a serenade, start
ing from the Hotel Fountain, and taking I,
tour down through Salem, stopping at the
Belo House and the Academy, and other
public places, and going thence across to
Cherry street They then proceeded up
Cherry street, playing at intervals then
went out Fifth street, and back Fourth street
to the Court House square, where they
played to fair and appreciative audience
up in the Twin-City Pleasure Club Rooms !;
after which Major Sam'l II. Smith invited
the boys in and treated them to some prime
good temperance drinks. The Band had
prepared its best music for this occ aston,
and was much complimented by all who
heard it.
A number of the fair bellies and gallant
beaux of the Twin-City found pleasure in a
select German at the Club Rooms.
At the Belo House Martha Washing
ton " Festival was given, with costumes, &C.,
of the days of the Revolution. The enter
tainment was given for the benefit of the
Centerville Chapel, and was well attended,
and passed off pleasantly and successfully.
To "cap the CLIMAX" Calathumpian F."
Band of about forty youngsters paraded the
streets and discoursed choice selections with
tin horns. cow bells, tin pans, &c.
Altogether the various demonstrations
did full honor to the glorious occasion they
celebrated, and were certainly energetic if
not fitting tributes to the illustrous author
of Independence.

The Agnes Wallace villa Comedy Com
pany,

Judging from the comments of the press
and the reputation enjoyed by this company,
the people of Winston promised treat
for the first three nights next week-Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Com
pany plays for the benefit of the Forsyth
Rifemen. The Springfield Republican
says: There is company of actors at this
place that every one should see. Agnes
Wallace Villa and Miss Lucie Villa are
very powerful in the parts they take-pow-
erful because most natural, and it is really a
treat not often experienced to see the young
lady in so emotional fashion work up the
business of a most trying situation she
did in her part in the Wife's Sacrifice, per-
formed Tuesday night"
